ThunderWolf renaming angers some groups

It goes by Colorado 47, University Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Memorial Highway.

An effort to rename the University portion after Colorado State University-Pueblo’s mascot has angered members of the Latino community who say it detracts from honoring the late labor activist.

It’s common for roadways to have various names, like Colorado 96. It’s a state highway that runs through the city, but in town it’s known as East and West Fourth Street and Lincoln Street and Thatcher Avenue.

Pueblo County Commissioners recently passed a resolution of support to rename University as ThunderWolf Boulevard.
